How to Stage ML Model Workflows with Python Classes
Defines a Stage class to model ML pipeline stages with variants and mocks, printing grammar for Model, Staging, and Production stages.
class Stage:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
self.mocks = []
self.variants = []
def add_mock(self, mock_name):
self.mocks.append(mock_name)
def add_variant(self, variant_name, productions=()):
self.variants.append((variant_name, list(productions)))
